Jackie Sumell
Jackie Sumell is an interdisciplinary artist whose work has taken her around the world. Jackie’s work explores the connectedness between people in their everyday lives.
Although sometimes provocative, her work can generate uncomfortable discussions about personal agendas, motives and intentions that are not dissimilar among everyone. Her work both as an activist and an artist strives to unveil the individual uniqueness to reveal the common connections in the human experience. Known well for The House That Herman Built project, Jackie will be in residence at the Udjadowski Castle in Poland to work on this ongoing project as well as personal work.
